Pierre DeRoche Split Rock Dare Watch Collection
This watch is a self-admitted combination of luxury watch making and the "art" of graffiti from watch maker Pierre DeRoche. What is charming is that the Swiss watch maker sought out a Swiss based graffiti artist - who'd a thought right? The artist they worked with is Sigi …

Patek Sky Moon Tourbillon: Two Units Made Each Year & We Found One of Them
We (and many others) have often said Patek Philippe is perhaps the most exceptional watch brand on the planet. They were the first brand to have the audacity to charge $20,000 for an uncomplicated, stainless steel watch. They did it, they're still doing it, and people are …
Linde Werdel fef in “The Lab” Watch Maker Blog Exemplar
Watch companies are getting keen on blogging. Maybe I have shown them a good example? Different watch brands are experimenting with various ways of doing it, but the best approach is something like Linde Werdelin has done. Sure they could have more posts up and spend more …

In recognition of Canada Day, I’ll just make a short post to mention a Canadian Watch Company named Halios. Halios only has one model, the Holotype. It is a 300m rated Diver in the vein of the legendary Seiko Divers such as the Tuna Can and Samurai Divers. The watches come …
1960s Blancpain Fifty Fathoms For Polish Navy: Worn While Installing Screen Doors on Submarine
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is the archetype modern diving watch. It was released before the Omega Seamaster and before the Rolex Submariner, and that is why Blancpain is still making it to this day. We have found some interesting Fifty Fathoms in the past, including this …
Omega Speedmaster Solar Impulse HB-SIA Watch
This is a watch that I could really see myself wanting - even though it has a carbon fiber dial that I tend to not always enjoy (though I did like it on my Tissot T-Touch Expert). Yes, this has been a month of many Omega watches, but they have had some interesting releases …

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim
I'm always a fan of the understated mechanical dress watch, and the recently announced Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim fits that category perfectly. Based on the high-grade ETA 2892 movement, it's available in 40 and 43mm sizes, in steel or gold case....
Danish Watchblog!
Since a few weeks, I am following my friend Jan from Denmark with his watch blog. He blogs mainly about Rolex and Panerai, including new & vintage models. He also seem to have – like myself – a weak spot for the Danish Linde Werdelin watches. The 3-Timer I ordered won’t be …

As Complete A Pepsi-Bezel Rolex As You'll Ever See: Includes "Use Box For Cigarettes" Instruction Card
The Rolex GMT with a Pepsi-bezel is a classic vintage model, and we have found some great ones in the past (like this one signed by Tiffany & Co., this one signed by the Tiffany's of Venezuela, and this one used in the COMEX Everest Operation, which incidentally, did not …
Suunto Elementum Aqua Diver Watch Review
I've been a Suunto fan ever since I got my first Suunto watch back in college. That was a negative LCD Suunto Observer, and is still one of my favorite digital watches. I was intrigued back then by the Finnish brand that didn't sell "watches," but rather "wrist-top …
